“I’m uninterested in
things not being achieved, dreams being neglected, life lived quietly, purpose
roaming without an owner and confidence without boldness.”-YOUR Future
“When you stand on strength… confidence and boldness will
make you say, ‘Girl YOU Crazy, I deserve this.’”-The Steps because they have
seen and felt all your hard work
Dear
Dreamers of your own dreams & those
Tempted by the elevator (well, hopefully you’re not tempted anymore…), put
your name here____________:
I’m
writing to you because you ARE awesome but even more than that…Worthy &
Deserving!
“Don’t Take the
Elevator…” is all about you, and being that push to go after and achieve
the dreams with your name on em’.
It’s one thing to tell someone that the fast track can go
either way, at any time but another to tell you why, and remind you that the
route to success is a journey, a process to enjoy, and to fight the
urge/temptation to rush through it.
We talked about the different steps and letting life happen
in between---
+Confidence
(the look, attitude): Strength looks like Confidence.
+Boldness (the
action):
Boldness is Beautiful. “You can look confident but YOU better talk boldness.”
But what’s left?…
So finally, we have arrived/made it to the top of the step/stairs,
which is nowhere near the end of the road…but simply the beginning.
It’s like that moment after you worked all summer, all
month, or saved up to buy the latest ___________ (fill-in-the-blank), bought
it, and walked around SUPER proud!!! I know I’m not by myself…my proud moment was the purchase of those
electronic dogs…since I couldn’t have a real life dog with hair versus painted
spots and an off button…(I’m not upset, I’m just venting really quick, I’m into
pigs now that wear pearls, so whateve’s…).
However,
This…you
will actually remember where it is 5 to 10 years from now…in YOU taking care of business!
Hello!
The last step, called…
I deserve
this.
The icing on the cake,
fire to the match, helium to the balloon or maybe the string to keep the
balloon from flying away…whatever, all of that!
“I deserve this” is so important because you can have all
the equipment to succeed, take the classes, and have all the instructions but
if YOU never use them and keep using them no matter what happens…you might as
well just get on the elevator.
You can have all the strength, confidence and put it to
action with boldness but without knowing that YOU deserve success, that you are
worthy of success…it will be hard to keep it, achieve your dreams, stop, think
and dream a new dream.
Strength. Confidence. Boldness. I deserve
this.
Know YOUR Worth and
live in it…you took the steps, no short cuts, you know the process, you know
yourself…so ACT LIKE IT! (please note...that I am saying this with the "GYC" face...and a smile...)
Let me just say
this…and I’m done for now…
The audacity of you working
really hard and not walking worthy…YOU better talk like, walk like and act like you
deserve to be where you are because YOU do ma’am!!!
“Don’t
take the Elevator…” because Strength, Confidence and Boldness will make you
say, “I deserve this.” TAKE THE STEPS (You’ll last longer)
Sincerely,
GYC Girl YOU Crazy…Lauren Alicia
P.s. I'm here if you need me!
